As far as I can tell, the group that seems to be the most influenced by the sea of disinformation is the people who grew up when that wasn't how the world worked. I see far more of the middle aged/elderly crowd getting sucked into conspiracy nonsense than younger.

I think among people who grew up with the internet, there's less assumption that things are true just because someone said or wrote them. People can and do lie constantly on the internet and without evidence it's not necessarily worth believing.

That there's some "news" outlet just blatantly lying and making things up, even if it looks to be made "professionally" is not surprising to a younger person.

For personal anectdata:

I'm late 20s and had virtually unsupervised internet access and my own personal computer from about age 8 or so, as my father brought home old parts from work and let me tinker/assemble something, and they didn't watch me too closely. (early DSL adoption meant I wasn't limited for long by speeds, either).

I pirated and played all the violent games, I downloaded lots of porn, and while I was never into "shock"/watching real death/gore, the nature of the internet was such that you were going to run across plenty of it if you spent enough time browsing, I certainly saw a lot.

I turned out to be a fine, reasonably well-adjusted adult, as did most of the friends I know who grew up similarly.

I don't know all the details of their sex lives, but I'm not aware of any winding up with unrealistic expectations from porn. Always seemed like an action movie. Exciting, but not "real".

Most of the shock stuff felt like it just made me more cautious. "That guy got one whack in the head and he died!" was a better argument against getting in a fight than the threat of parental/school punishment is. Same regarding a lot of other potential teenage risk-taking behavior, like reckless driving or getting exceptionally drunk. Watch enough people die or ruin their lives at something and you're a lot more cautious about it.

-----------

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that it's a net positive for kids to view those things at a young age. I'm just not sure that the harm is as large or uniform as people making moral panic claims often make, either.

Also, something like a third of people lose their virginity before 16 (although it's declining) and the median age is ~17 in the US. A lot of your peers were having real-life sex when you ran across porn for the first time. Worrying about them watching porn when plenty of them are having sex.....I don't know it makes much sense at that point.

-----------

Looking back on that time, I'm primarily concerned with how easily I was talking with random strangers in great depth than the content I was watching. While there are some internet friends from old forums and chatrooms I've kept in touch with for 15-20 years now, that I could get to know random strangers like that as a preteen obviously had potential risks. Worked out well for me and I found great communities and interests, but still.

I too would love to fly one and I'm not a pilot of any kind! Not only aren't civilians permitted (to the best of my knowledge) to fly military aircraft, there are no 2-seater A-10s. This means that your first time flying it, you're doing it solo.
I despise Carvana.

Their whole business model, in my area at least, is to buy up all decent used cars for sale and then flip them at a non-negotiable higher price. Those of us looking for a newer used car at an affordable price from a private seller or dealership are left with nothing to choose from.

Particularly regarding the app. Do I complain that I need to install Sonos and Prime Music and Apple Play once to do what I want?
It's a bad post either way, friend.
I see it differently. The massive global dependence on TSMC is also a reason why Intel's IDM model is a good thing. More companies should set up their own fabs. We need more foundry, sure -- but I disagree with the "like TSMC" part.

I saw two articles that convinced me of this.

First, I saw that Germany asked Taiwan to ease the semiconductor shortage's impact on the auto industry.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-taiwan-autos-chips/german...

Then, I saw that Germany is sending a warship to the South China Sea.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/Ind...

UMC is also exposed to geopolitical risk. Samsung too.

There's a lot of demand for semiconductor fabrication right now, and I don't think that's going away. Why concentrate all of the capex right on China's doorstep? I just don't see the wisdom of that approach.
Also the fact that it works with existing software out of the box.

Idempotent Receiver - Patterns of Distributed Systems
To put a finer point on one of yours, social media made very obvious the existence of violence against racial and ethnic minorities by law enforcement, among other social ills.

It's hard and slow work to gain populist support for socially progressive policy. We wouldn't be talking about this stuff were it not for the truths presented to us by the people it affects most profoundly.
I've come to despise coding boot camps, they are just so predatory. They have no academic standards, no standardization, and they promise the world. I took the more traditional CS degree route but understand it's not the best path for everyone. However, bootcamps aren't the new way and probably never will be (I expect them to take their place next to DeVry and other university level scams advertising on daytime television).

Entry level programmers are told that there is a huge demand. There is a huge demand, but everyone wants at least some experience. Some will do personal projects, maybe work at a chop shop for a few months and work their way in. Others won't or never get past the project phase. Coding bootcamps come in and claim to bridge that gap for an exorbitant price. The attitude is so often "just pay for this piece of paper and get a job." Students pay up front and are left out on their ass when they realize it was a scam.

Unfortunately by the time I see people get desperate enough to buy a piece of paper from a bootcamp I think they should either work on their soft skills or reconsider this industry altogether. I personally know a few people who either have gone or are considering such programs and they all lack passion. They only want to program because they see it as a stable line of employment. Hiring managers can see this from a mile away and lose interest. If it's just a lack of soft skills then learn how to sell yourself and communicate your interest. But if you don't really want this and can't bridge the gap then I'd find something else to do.
I generally dislike banning things because a few individuals can't handle it. Punishing those people that have self control seems ridiculous and I hate sin taxes for that reason. However, I think putting restrictions on stuff for younger people that don't have fully developed brains seems perfectly reasonable. If you're under 18 (21 in some cases) you cannot drink, smoke etc. Social Media should be treated the same way.

Unfortunately, laws can only do so much with out invading the privacy of citizens so it's really going to take a large campaign similar to anti-smoking ads in the 90s to get the message out about the cons and parents will HAVE to put their foot down. Although, it seems like a certain portion of our society thinks children should be allowed to make decisions themselves nowadays so I expect backlash at the thought of parents actually stopping their kids from harming themselves.
It certainly makes the process easier, although if you have done what you describe properly, I don't know that it makes it more secure ...
In theory. I'm not sure if Protonmail or the VPN provider would respond to a subpoena, but I wouldn't rule it out. But realistically most of these people are using their home IP address and their gmail account.
I wasn't familiar with KeyDB and looked it up: a multithreaded fork of Redis. Very clear.

What wasn't clear to me was how the line between Community and Pro versions is drawn. They both have multithreaded operation but the Pro is 'advanced', also MVCC. Great features but no clear principle why any particular feature should be Community vs Pro.

A Review of End-to-End Architectures for Speech Recognition
This is neat, when I was in college I was obsessed with making audio only games with Allegro as a game library and basically just used trigonometry for spatial audio.

One of my games was a techno song where each part of the track was an NPC and you had to avoid one of the beats while chasing down the others using WSAD with no visible references.

I always wanted to translate that into the real world with a mobile device + gps and an open field to actually chase unseen sounds :)

EVs are supposed to be green, but the truth is a bit murkier (2019)
It's an Intel baytrail nano-ITX motherboard, with what I think is called a pico PSU, and an SSD for the operating system. It runs off a 12V 2A power brick. No fans or anything. The only component that isnt't solid state is the hard drive.

I used various arm single board computers previously, with the hard drive connected via USB. When I started using syncthing, though, it was literally taking days to hash through all the files, only going 1-2 MB/sec. The UI wouldn't work until hours after restarting the daemon because it took so long just to build its data structures in RAM. The baytrail CPU has enough oomph to tear through the hashing, and it's just nice to have expandable RAM and SATA.
AT and GC are such simple molecules we can assume wherever we find 50 of them in one place (first replicator) you're going to have not just 50 but an abundance of them in that place too. And since that's what the replicator needs to replicate it's literally sitting in a bath of it's own "food" with no predators around, so it will grow like crazy and immediately. lipid-bilayer might be needed to find a pattern for "cells" to form, sure, agreed. And in all this 'base' counting math the statistics is the same regardless of whether it's DNA or RNA.
Some of those that are near the mid 250s would be risky, especially as the car is likely to be loaded down with above average mass, maybe some bikes or a roof luggage unit hurting aero. Guess you could drive slow.
Oo very interesting. Thank you.
Carlsbad caverns is ~100 miles from the nearest supercharger. It wouldn't be a comfortable round trip even with a Y Long Range. With a standard range vehicle, it is not doable.
I hope this is successful. My dad is homebound, can’t get around on his own, and needs to get blood drawn on a regular basis at a Coumadin clinic. He can usually get a friend to give him a ride, but not always.
I think that they plan to dump everything on Friday... can't wait to see!
I think the idea that they are tearing it apart to make use for parking spaces is a bit overblown. It's not parking spaces for cars, it's parking spaces for these platforms, which they are building more of. Due to their shear size, there's only so much room to store such things.
> In North America, that amount would finance approximately 1,000 locations with 10 charging stalls each.

I don’t think this author lives in the USA. 10,000 charging stalls for a population of 330 million spread over millions of square miles is.... pathetic.

There would be perpetual lines to use v these 10,000 stalls
It's a "real problem" in the sense that it exists. GP forgot "you need to be a member of our petrol club to fill up" as an added issue.

Some of this is due to the slow speed. If it took 45 minutes to fill-up your car, then you might want to get a notification of some sort if the pump shut off only 5 minutes into filling. Really that could be solved by punching in a phone number and getting an SMS though.
> I think that only works on co-ordinated activity. Everyone on their is so small and not working in co-ordinated way. There is considerable discussion in the thread about the legality of it.

There are entire threads and Discord channels dedicated to coordinating this. It will be extremely difficult to convince a court that there is no coordination or market manipulation, especially when there are people who are spelling that fact out. And reddit have all of their IP addresses.

> Also - what do you think short sellers like Citron do all the time. Put out fake reports about companies to make money off their short positions.

If you can prove that those allegations are indeed fake, then they can be held liable for that. But Citron's influence stems from the fact that they have published a large number of reports that were indeed correct, e.g. Valiant.

> The sentiment on the trade is eff those short sellers and their sketchy tactics.

What sketchy tactics? Expressing their view that a company like Gamestop is not worth very much on account of their outdated business model that relies on physical retail in a sector that has been going fully digital for the last 15 years?
I don't believe in the existence of some mass, organized conspiracy going on behind closed doors, although I'm sure smaller 'conspiracies' happen from time to time - for example when tech CEOs conspire to form illegal non-poaching agreements and foolishly commit it to writing.

It's simply the upper-crust of the managerial class, all mostly similarly acculturated, pursuing their own class interests and looking out for their own, and listening to the same public signals everyone else can see. No coercion or explicit bribery is necessary, although there is plenty of money flowing around. Though typically ideological/cultural commitment is more than sufficient, remuneration typically consists simply of the knowledge that considerations are on the table - play the game and you will be assured a successful career for yourself and for your family and friends, whether that consists of board memberships, government jobs, NGO/charity placements, consultancies, media placement, or simply ascending the career ladder at your company. None of this is usually explicit. Playing along, even if you don't personally believe in it (which most do - it's self interest) sends a valuable social signal. Nor am I assigning a moral value to this behavior. It would not even be a social issue if it wasn't for the increasing gap between the managerial class, especially the managerial elite, and the rest of the country.

There are supposed to be checks and balances ideally, but no such ideal system exists or ever has existed. In the sense of the System as a whole, no checks and balances were ever designed; if we limit ourselves to the American federal government, the system has long since grown into something else beyond its original design - not because of some grim ideological conspiracy as conservatives would have it, but because the growing complexity of society necessitated it. (An important factor in the increasingly undemocratic nature of the government is the sheer scale and complexity of society.) The impact is the same, though, and the checks-and-balances people are taught in civics misrepresent the nature of the government and practically exclude altogether the interrelated nature of the government and large corporations.
It is pretty simple that businesses have to pay more taxes than non-profits. Unethical businesses mususing this for tax evasion force legislation to create more complex laws to prevent such tricks.
They are standardized, but the standard (at least in the US) was less than advanced so if you wanted things like a data connection between the charger and the car you had to roll your own. Without this you can't do things like:

1) Have 2 cars share capacity. The car will decide how much wattage to draw so you have to limit each car to supply/number_of_chargers so that you don't over draw your supply. With data connection you have them share the available wattage, allowing cars to pull what is currently available, often this is more than supply/number_of_chargers as charger will empty or underdrawing due to charge state.

2) Auto bill. Tesla chargers have NO interface other than the plug. You literally just plug it in.

This has changed now but Telsas have been pretty common for a long time here.
What It Will Take to Improve Diversity at Conferences
"There has been lots of talk in the past few years about all-male panels, fondly dubbed 'manels,' and why they are problematic. One study found 69% of professional speakers globally are male. However, less attention has been paid to how too many events also lack racial diversity. We know diversity in teams unlocks innovation and makes us smarter. So I’m routinely surprised at the reluctance of conference organizers to prioritize this."
In what state were you looking?
>Yeah if you arent willing to pay them living wage you probably don't.

What if they are willing to work for less because it serves their purpose (like a foot in the door in the industry, or something else that you and I can't even think of). For example, we allow unpaid internships because we see the value of it. What about an internship that pays a little? Isn't that better for all?

The problem is you're taking choice away from people who may want it or need it. Why do you think you know better what's good for them than they do?
That is effectively my point. It may be worth reassessing your perspectives if you are comfortable saying “when I use the tax code to my benefit, it is okay” but “when he uses the tax code to his benefit, it is not okay.” Fundamentally it is the same thing. The only difference is the scale. I’m open to arguments as to why this conclusion is correct, but it really seems like the classic case of hating on Big Corps because they are big, not because they are doing something bad (which they often do, but not in this case. To my mind).
Hide upstream identity providers with the Auth Facade
One thought "design pattern" I pay attention to is respecting multiple modes. For example, language learning tends to focus on single-phase progress. In practice, a tourist such as myself, bad at many languages, will study before a trip and hope it all comes together during the trip. One realistically doesn't continue studying during a trip, but one's mind shortens available connections to develop a working facility. This favors committing a radio play to memory, over the staggered recall patterns of single-phase language study. Von Neumann could recall entire books, but in sequence. That's key.

For keyboards, the most novel designs are better at intense coding sessions, but worse at hunt-and-peck finding an arrow key, or muting one's computer in the middle of the night before the dog wakes everyone up. For me, the middle "tap/hold" zone of my Leopold FC660C is perfect for long coding and typing sessions, while the periphery does a great job of supporting casual use.
Theranos showed us that's sadly not true. A good story beats reliable results.
I grew up with A-10s flying overhead almost daily (I lived next to BDL airport and the CT Air National Guard had A-10s). I had pictures of all kinds of different planes on my wall and wanted to be a fighter pilot - as did half the boys in the Top Gun generation. Much later my wife's cousin in the British Army was shot by an American F-18 in Afghanistan on a close air support mission. I clicked on this article because of my old fondness for A-10s but you're absolutely right, it's easy to become fascinated by the technology and separate yourself from the reality that these things are purpose built to kill other humans.
Women primed to fill cyber security talent gap
If you define poverty as income related to costs of living and obtaining necessities for living, it should be entirely decoupled from income inequality. If the poorest 20% of americans had their incomes triple over night without a corresponding increase of the costs of living and Bezos becomes a trillionare, poverty would have decrease with income inequality worsening. If the richest Americans all saw 75% of their wealth and income evaporate overnight while the poorest 50% americans lost 10% wealth and income, income inequality would reduce but poverty would still increase.

You might say that income inequality contributes to disparities in political influence which may cause more longterm poverty, but that link has far too many steps in it (political corruption for example) to say the two are now directly linked
To be fair, now (8 years after the first superchargers), Electrify America supports plug and charge. Because of this, the experience with the Mach-E is really close to that of supercharging.

There's still a gap, but its much smaller now and EA is even ahead in some areas.
Exactly. Some people seem to refer to poverty as living with the standards of 2000 years ago. Of course we improved. That doesn't mean that relative poverty is getting worse and that other factors like free time have worsened if compared with centuries ago.
lol came here only to amuse myself as you get downvoted for a valid comment
The word we need to use is "Totalitarian Liberalism". We're not heading into communism (there's no unity, there's no focus on workers) nor fascism (there's no aesthetic, there's no glory of the nation). Instead, we get as much Product as we want, as long as we all toe the line and profess to believe as we're told - no matter how far that strays from observable reality.
For a detailed breakdown of superchargers, see https://supercharge.info/charts

The Supercharger network is why I bought a Tesla, and it's one of the few reasons I think Tesla might truly be able to put a lot of distance between themselves and rivals. They are building it at a good clip, and were doing it well even prior to the enormous amount of capital they now have access to.
Yes! When I was playing around with it, i wondered how it knew to just go down instead of up an octave when I wanted it to.
It was an illusion all along!
Note that $240 is the price of a put for a single share, which are typically bought in increments of 100 with options. So buying a single one of those options requires $24,000. There are definitely people spending that kind of money over in WSB, for given the volatility nature of the meme stock, its a lot of money to put on the line for anyone not in the WSB mindset, or who isn't so flush with cash that that's a drop in the bucket.
